Helping to keep Trevor on the go!

Trevor has Limb Girdle Muscular Dystrophy type 2a - a progressive  muscle wasting condition. Due to his medical condition Trevor has not been able to walk for the past 20 years and has limited movement in his limbs.

Our contribution of £5,000 ensured that Trevor could purchase a specialist powered wheelchair to accommodate his day-to-day needs, keeping him mobile and comfortable at the same time.

Trevor's daughter, Sarah Acres, comments:

"My father is very active within his local community. Amongst his voluntary activities, he is a governor for two primary schools, sits on the board of the local Citizen Advice Bureau and assists with the Lancashire Disability Service... This has had an enormous impact on his independence and consequently his wellbeing and sense of purpose. This impact helps to ease the amount of care he requires from others, primarily my mother, who is his full time carer."
